We'd only been arranging to arrest them for a few days, and their wife came begging for help? It seems the whole Liu family knew about the counterfeit silver.
"Liu An's wife, surnamed Li, is the eldest daughter of the Li family of Shaoning." Ji Cailiang almost dug out Liu's wife's given name.
[Liu An's wife... Xiangxiang, bring the melon.] Ji Yingying was already thinking about her melon.
【Okay.】 Xiangxiang's systemic voice sounded, and soon Ji Yingying could be heard: 【Good heavens, if this lady were in a brothel, she would definitely be a madam. Those poor girls, not only were they forced into prostitution by her, but they were also forced to entertain secret clients every day. When they died, they were simply thrown out on straw mats.】
Over the years, countless girls have died at her hands, and the silver hidden in Gushi Village is all the money earned by those girls through their lives.
[Waaah... How tragic! Thank goodness I have my parents, my older brothers, and they're so good to me. If it weren't for them, with my lazy nature, waaah... I'd definitely be dead by now. After all, that scoundrel didn't even spare his own daughter. Just because the prefect came and took a liking to her, she actually sent her own daughter to that sixty-year-old scoundrel's bed, where he tortured her to death.]
[This bitch has a habit of watching men and women have sex. The more she watches, the more she enjoys it. She's crazy. She even secretly watches her own son's sex life. When these girls were forced by the secret agent, she was also watching them. She watched once a day. She enjoyed it. Poor girls...]
[No, I have to remind the Crown Prince to arrest this scoundrel. Otherwise, even more girls will die. Those girls are so pitiful. Some were sold into the prefect's mansion as servants, then tricked into becoming prostitutes. Others were implicated by her because they offended her. There are too many. It's too tragic. The Liu family is no good.]
[Next, listen to my boasting... no, my sophistry... no, never mind, I'll just make it up, anyway, my dad believes me.]
"Cough cough..." Ji Yingying coughed twice. After coughing, she felt so familiar with it, as if she heard other people coughing every day.
"Is there something you need, Miss?"
"It's nothing... no, something's wrong. Yesterday, I overheard someone saying that this lady is a ruthless person who secretly runs a brothel. Dad, what's a brothel? Is it fun?" Ji Yingying looked at Ji Cailiang obediently and asked in an innocent voice.
Ji Cailiang was used to it and didn't mind, but Ning Qingran and Judge Liu were a little at a loss.
What a hypocrite!
"Son, this is not a good time for you to talk about it. Be good, let's not talk about it."
"Fine, I won't say anything. Anyway, I overheard that she's a bad person. Your Highness, you must arrest her."
"Yes, I will send someone to investigate."
"Hehe, okay, I... I'm going back to have dinner with my father now. Your Highness, please get some rest."
Ji Cailiang left with Ji Yingying. That night, several maids were missing from the mansion, and Gushi Village was directly taken over by An Er, An San, and Peng Rong with a group of men.
They also found a lot of silver ingots in the village.
They also found the ledger containing counterfeit silver and some letters exchanged with the Third Prince.
An Yi directly detained Liu An's family and rescued many women. As for An Si and An Wu, they directly destroyed the cave where the counterfeit silver was produced.
Overnight, the weather in Qingcheng changed.
As for the memorial, it had already been delivered back to the emperor's desk by fast horse, along with Ji Yingying's thoughts.
After reading the memorial, the emperor was furious and immediately placed the third prince under house arrest.
…………
After the counterfeit silver case was closed, Ji Yingying received the news and immediately climbed back onto the wall to stare blankly.
The wall where she lives is so narrow that even a dog can hardly pass by; she relies entirely on God's grace to get her melons.
“Miss, His Highness requests your presence.” Apple waved from the corner of the wall, signaling her to come down.
"The case is closed, why do you need me to come over?" Although Ji Yingying's tone and expression were not good, she still came down quickly.
"You'll find out when you get there."
[I don't want to know. I just want to give up right now. My dad said I could stay home and do nothing for the rest of my life, so why did we have to have someone like this in our family?]
Apple Head, who was following behind, kept her head down. She was scared, but her young mistress knew nothing.
"Your Highness, you wanted to see me?" Ji Yingying's voice preceded her arrival, and the prefect kneeling inside looked even more displeased.
【Huh...someone's here?】
Ji Yingying walked in, casually greeted them, and then quietly sat down to pour herself a glass of water. Her stealth was so obvious that Ning Qingran couldn't help but laugh.
I hope his child is as adorable as Ji Yingying.
That's right, the Crown Princess is pregnant, but it's unknown whether it's a boy or a girl. Ning Qingran, however, wants a girl, the cute and adorable kind.
[Is this the prefect? Why is he kneeling here?]
[Ah ha~ So she was arrested for raping a woman. Hmm, people like that should have been arrested long ago. Driven by lust, she had no good intentions and was a bad guy. It's normal that she was arrested.]
"You...&&...xx...cough cough~" He couldn't say it, he couldn't say it, he couldn't even curse. Was the founding emperor coming to pick him up?
[Huh, why is he performing again? I think he shouldn't be performing the choking act, but rather the old man pushing a cart act. But, that physique... hmm, paired with a young and beautiful woman from some Japanese country... oh my, beauty and the beast, that's quite a sight.]
Ning Qingran suddenly didn't want a daughter anymore. If his daughter were like Ji Yingying, he would be furious.
“Ji San, don’t overthink it. The prefect has come to invite me back to Qingcheng. Your family should also pack their things and come back to the capital with me.”
"What? Does my dad know?"
"I have already informed him that your father should be promoted."
[You've been promoted, to prefect? That's great, a different perspective, isn't it!]
Ji San, can't you be a little more ambitious? Going out and seeing the world would be good for you!
"Then what do I need to do?" Ji Yingying didn't understand. Her father's promotion had nothing to do with her, so why was she being called over?
"Yes, I just wanted you to come and meet the prefect."
"Alright!" Ji Yingying squatted down to face the kneeling prefect, then smiled, raised her right hand and waved to him, saying, "Hello!"
[What's so great about this old man? He's a lecherous old man, a corrupt official, hmm, his whole family are good, except for him. None of his children have an anus, and the only two with anuses are unrelated children.]
"Ahem..." Ning Qingran couldn't help but laugh even while sitting in the seat of honor. This green hat thing was... quite novel.
"Ji San, I will leave tomorrow. You and your father will go to the capital soon, and I will wait for you there."
[Not soon? Which not soon?]
"Okay, I'll wait for you on the wall then."
